Well, it looks like mse was created as a 1-by-1 matrix.
So mse:mse[1, 1] just grabs that one element.

However when I try the example in command line Maxima,
I get just a "+" expression, not a matrix.
I'm guessing there is some global flag which might
influence that.

Did you misspell the name of the function?
lbgfs vs lbfgs.
